Since its debut, Grey's Anatomy has seen a revolving door of medical professionals. Many beloved doctors have departed over the seasons, their exits frequently followed by new faces stepping in to fill the ranks at Grey Sloan Memorial.
Season 22 of the medical drama, for instance, saw the significant departures of Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Teddy (Kim Raver), who embarked on new adventures in Paris with their two children. These exits are bound to have consequences for the upcoming 23rd season, set to premiere on ABC in a few weeks. According to Deadline, a new physician will be joining Grey Sloan Memorial to help fill the void left by the two doctors.
James Wolk Joins Grey's Anatomy
James Wolk, known for his role in Mad Men, is indeed set to join Grey's Anatomy in a recurring capacity. The actor will portray Seth Norton, a handsome and arrogant surgeon who has transitioned into a businessman, with profit as his primary focus. He is the owner of Olympic Regent Health, a luxury medical center where patients pay out of pocket for premium care.
At present, details are scarce regarding which Grey Sloan doctors he will interact with, or what specific circumstances will bring him through the hospital's doors. However, sources indicate that James Wolk is slated to appear in at least four episodes of season 23, which premieres on October 15th on ABC.
Beyond his new role in Grey's Anatomy, James Wolk has also secured a part in Thunder Road, a racing series where he will star alongside Dennis Quaid. Furthermore, he's been announced for the cast of Vought Rising, the prequel to the hit series The Boys. Details about his role in that project have yet to be revealed.
